2014-1208: need to identify missing gaps and plan to fill; also migrate older data forward___2008-0618: Melanie Ransmeier says from scoping that much more needs addded in to park to make map complete. need write up from her on this . 2006-0802: Tim moved gmap folders for 1166 & 1167 to Z:\GIS\park_data\acad\gmap_id compiled map

2013-1206: found published quad for Whistle Creek NW (GMAP 75781) 7.5' and reference to full Agate 7.5' that need incorporated into AGFO map…no downloads for Agate 7.5' though; needs pursued……have 2008-0630: need to follow up with Bob Hunt to see if full quads ever published for AGFO area of interest following from 2003 scoping and NE statemap stuff. 2006-0802: Tim moved gmap folder for 1313 to Z:\GIS\park_data\agfo\gmap_id

2015-0529: update from steph from DMT: The UGS now has 24k (7.5' quadrangle) maps for all of ARCH save the small portions of the park in the Cisco SW quadrangle. The present GRI map is from the Doelling 1985 50k scale map. Grant mentioned they've addressed more than a few issues with the Doelling map. The digital data we used is also problematic in that it was poorly digitized (from a digitizing tablet by the NPS Southeast Utah Group), and only contacts were initially captured, thus leading to issues of contacts and faults not connecting as they should. I've asked Grant and Kent if they have data for the Cisco SW quad, as well as for the Rill Creek quad as this would give us complete coverage of the park and surrounding area.
A possible project for next FY when we don't have GPRA work and we have available resources!2011-1206: updated map snapshot……2010-0115: should revisit potential to use latest 24k mapping……completed and posted

2014-1208: anticipating updates from Norb Psuty___2012-0821: need updates from David Krantz to his mapping to "update" this park……2011-0420: steph says should be "updated" very soon….2010-0203: Courtney Shupp would like some additional maps of David Krantz converted from image formats to GIS if possible; GRI will add to workplan. Need specific GMAP list though (75061 ??)…..2008-1015: have USGS of-2007-1338 (GMAP 75016) of geomorph; think we should convert this and GPRA count it. 2008-0103: need plan from scoping summary, but understand GRE awaiting delivery of product from David Krantz (U Toledo) by end of FY-2008; assuming it will be digital

2015-0311: update from Stephanie O'Meara: __Hi All, Upon or near the completion release of the detailed geomorphic data for CALO that was done by Stan and Dorethea (ECU) I noticed the GIS data for the Portsmouth ro Cricket Island map (GRI MapCode PMCI) was "way off" positionally/geospatially. I contacted Dorethea whom I'd been working with for these maps and she was unaware of the issue. She was also "unable" to resolve or fix this as she didn't know how to check, resolve and/or "rubber-sheet" the data to correctly positioned imagery. I concluded the imagery they mapped from wasn't correct, and they just went with only that.
From my database notes,
"will not be released as the positional accuracy of the GIS data is way off (> 220m) and can't be improved (pers. comm. with Dorethea Ames 20090115)
As the PMCI map is a part of the compiled park detailed geomorphic map (GRI MapCode CALG) this map was also affected.
In working with Dorethea there was a lot the we/I fixed in their mapping. However, this was mainly differences in units and unit symbols in their report versus what was in the GIS data. Basically, there were units in their GIS data that had no mention in the report and vice versa. Dorethea explained that this was due to repeated changes to interpretation of units (mainly by Stan) and often these changes were not made to the GIS data.
To fix the spatial issue here would require attempting to match their dated imagery to accurate imagery of the same year. Looking at ESRI imagery today, that I'm assuming is more recent than 2008, one can certainly see how "off" features are. However, as this is such a dynamic environment you'd expect to see some "change". However, as I noted 220m+ of offset back in 2008 with imagery close to the dated imagery they used I'm sure features are "off".
So, how to proceed? Well, I never heard back from Dorethea, but then I also didn't follow up. Any fix really needs to come from ECU and Dorethea. Its an issue with their GIS data, and what imagery they produced their GIS data from. I think we could possibly help, but then I'd think I would have offered help back in 2008.
/ugh This does need to be resolved! I'll contact Dorethea and ask her if anything has been done to correct the data for this one map.
Cheers, Stephanie____
2008-0924: completed and posted; some issues with ECU data lining up properly; needs resolved 2008-0115: received new cd-rom from Stan Riggs dated 2007-1227; contains 3 detailed inset maps for CALO (Portsmouth to Cricket Island; Drum Inlets; Hogpen Bay to Cape Lookout; GMAP 74876). Also have more generalized NCGS on entire CALO too to supplement Riggs finer detail as GMAPs 74878-74883; all are GIS files needing converted.

2015-0529: Steph updates from DMT: Louden stated he'd clean up the digital GIS data for the IDGS Arco 30 x 60 map in June and have this to us by late June at the latest. This data is to be combined with the Craters of the Moon 30 x 60 and the north half of the Lake Walcott 30 x 60 for the CRMO (Nmon and NPres extent map).______2015-03xx: received more from USGS so GRI can expand map area……2014-0613: Four 24k quadrangle maps have been migrated forward by Derek while awaiting DEVA. QC done by Stephanie, awaiting finalization. Park previously counted in 2004. Also awaiting 30' x 60' quadrangles to complete preserve extent of park._____2014-0327: Lake Walcott sheet almost done…2013-0108: John Apel placed files on google drive, but cannot download GDB file so asked for FTP instead….awaiting response……2012-1231: gchat with John Apel who says he can get us GIS files for GMAP 75654 (core CRMO areas and 38 points of interest) ….2012-1227: need to use GMAPs 75654 & 75655 in GRI product and get digital files for it…….2012-0921: did we initially complete this in 2002 or 2004; ? Needs verified…..then we need to get updated maps from USGS for 30x60s2010-1208: Bruce Heise says he just saw the north half of the Lake Walcott 30x60 soon to be of'd by USGS Mel Kuntz…..2010-0127: needs expanded area mapped…….1:20,000 scale area map; dedicated

2014-1208: hoping more new Wes Hildreth map of area to update___2012-0821: changing to 2013…..2011-1103: expecting some new mapping from USGS Wes Hildredth to update DEPO…..checking with JAKE on progress……2010-1122: likely need to revisit the map used for GRI; we used GQ-437 (DEPO 15'), but likely need to also use 1989 Long Valley caldera map by USGS (i-1933; gmap 3373) as it breaks out volcanics more. Also, USGS volcano hazards is redoing mapping in the area as well. Connors and Heise will discuss plan in call 11/23 with DEPO staff

2014-1208: hoping for surficial mapping for NERI-GARI-BLUE from WVGS for these parks___2013-0826: received updates via DVD and letter from WVGS; put in folder GMAP 75478; …..2010-1216: GARI bedrock completed and posted…..2010-1122: had kickoff meeting w Chappell and O'meara; est. 2 week project…..2010-1115: received GIS files as geodatabases for Ansted and Summersville Dam 7.5's……need to assign gmaps now…. And evaluate for conversion….2010-0921: WVGS email from Paula Hunt says should deliver in fy2011…stay tuned….bedrock first, then surficial…. 2010-0115: need to consult emails from WVGS on timetables for NERI-BLUE-GARi deliverables but guessing ~2012 end…2009-1106: GRI working with WVGS to remap NERI-BLUE-GARI over multi years to create new large-scale geologic maps of area….kickoff week of Nov 16th at NERI…..2007-0917: need to revisit project scope and check with WVGS for best available data; could use GMAP 74110 (USGS of-2005-1324; WV state geology)

2014-1208: anticipatping Post Sandy maps from Norb Psuty___2014-0918: completed and posted____2014-0731: Significant progress. Surficial awaiting finalization, bedrock almost to finalization, and geomorphology in-progress. Ancillary document almost to another QC and nearing finalization. ….2014-0613: Jim, with Derek's assistance has been working hard to resolve issues with the project and much of the digital data we received and converted. GATE will also complete 3 non-I&M parks (ELIS, GOIS and STLI). Hope to start geomorphic data conversion soon!____
2014-0422: changing status to "in progress" to reflect ongoing work on bedrock and surficial; hope to include the new geomorph to as well…but may "update"..2014-0414: anticipate delivery FY 2014 but not sure if we'll have time to convert….2014-0401: Norb Psuty supplied update for GATE with anticipated end of April 2014 delivery; see email on topic…….2013-0926: backing out to 2014 completion…..2013-0826: should post this week; use exising bedrock and surficial to GPRA complete this map in 2013 and then update when geomorph arrives early FY2014…..2011-1026: wiaing on norb psute delivaerbale….2011-0127: held call with cooperators on mapping status; need summary update and to re-project est. delivery for 2012 from Norb Psuty (Rutgers)……….2010-0712: Complete bedrock and surficial mapping could be done to cover the park's quads of interest defined at the meeting (Jersey City, Brooklyn, Jamaica, Lynbrook, Arthur Kill, The Narrows, Coney Island, Far Rockaway, Lawrence, Sandy Hook W and E, Long Branch W and E), but the park needs more detailed coastal geomorphologic mapping, so this park should be put on hold until that mapping is completed. 2008-0909: guesstimating FY 2012 mapping completion solely based upon FY 2010 scoping and assumed 2 year lag time

2014-0414: awaiting USGS release of Dave Brew's bedrock GLBA map for GRI conversion........will back out to 2015 update......2013-1121: Ric Wilson says he has GLBA digital files now from Dave Brew……2012-0824: completed and posted for SURFICIAlL….still desire bedrock from USGS for total completion thouht….2012-0416: received GLBA surficial from Richard Becker for conversion…..needs assessed and assigned…..have as GDB file2011-0202: expect USGS delivery late 2011 so GRI completion maybe in 2012………2010-1215: GRI scanned paper copies of what Dave Brew sent us to review; saved as GMAP 75482; Heise sending docs to GLBA for internal review too…..2010-1108: dave brew says almost into internal usgs review…….2009-0818: from Dave Brew (USGS); Thanks for your message of August 12. The answer is that the estimated date for completion of the map as a USGS product is still fuzzy. If I were to guess, I would say sometime about a year from now. We are still dealing with obtaining and integrating both the topographic base and the geology from the "areas of interest" that were requested to be added to the map. I expect to have that part completed within a few weeks, but the topo base for the British Columbia part is still iffy.
Then come two USGS internal peer reviews. I have the reviewers identified, but I can't predict how quickly they will complete their task. Then comes a series of approvals: One from the USGS Office Chief in Anchorage; then one from the USGS Alaska Science Center Director in Anchorage; then finally one from the USGS Director's agent in Menlo Park……….

2015-0529: updates from Steph dmt: With Louden focusing on getting us the data for CRMO, work on HAFO plus MIIN will be further down the road. As we very likely won't have resources to get this done this FY likely work for next FY.___2014-1208: if HAFO staff submit STAR request for updated mapping, GRI may topshelf this request; awaiting park input for this and adding MIIN____2014-0527: request to remove fossil locality data from IRMA download; will process…..2012-0921: Twin Falls 30x60 (GMAP 75638) appareently has some digital data at 24k of QOI's for HAFO that we may convert; Greg Mack following up on this with ID GS……2010-1116: has few new ID GS quads that should be added to update HAFO area maps…..2007-1210: complete by end FY2005. IDGS has issued new mapping that we should revise and incorporate; GMAPs 74431 (Bliss 7.5'), 74433 (Tuttle 7.5'), 74432 (Hagerman 7.5'); GRE has PDF's; need to request GIS files too

2014-0520: in discussion with Josh Samuels he menitions he has newer mapping for Sheep Rock unit; need to have more discussions on it…..2010-1116: delivered GPRA JODA map but didn't do detailed map for Sheep Rock Unit; Liz Lovelock at JODA interested in having larger scale mapping completed; need to follow up with her on this via conference call; discussed at GSA 2010 with her…..2007-0917: awaiting mapping deliverables from academics for 1/3 JODA units; conference call of 2007-08xx GRE team decided to use Eastern Oregon digital geologic data to finish park more promptly

Still need to complete bedrock….2010-0310: changed to "in progress", can begin bedrock but still awaiting delivery of final surficial from USGS Anchorage office; Ron Karpilo working closely with them on this…2009-0923: bedrock ready, but surficial not finished yet for Ric Wilson and Tom Bundsen…….Page Spencer wants field checked too…2007-0917: awaiting filling of AK position; make sure we have latest greatest (OF-1998-133a, of-2006-1303, etc.); where is latest surficial mapping ??

2012-1120: discovered new pubs from USGS on Lassen volcanic center that need evaluated for GRI inclusion and "possible" map updating at http://pubs.usgs.gov/sir/2012/5176/,,,,,
2011-0321: completed and posted….2011-0111: held kickoff call with Greg Mack, Stephanie O'Meara and Tim Connors… est. time to take to be 5 weeks……2010-1230: USGS posted; tim downloaded files for conversion from http://pubs.usgs.gov/sim/2899/ as gmap 7424 to Z:\gis-nps\_by_gmap_id\7424_LAVO\from_usgs_website….2010-0921: Tim spoke with Louise Johnson at LAVO about map; decided to try to arrange call with USGS to determine when it will be released. Likely try to have call early FY2011……2009-1118: Connors left VM for Mike Clynne to ask for update on LAVO project status…….2008-1010: found of-2008-1091 for LAVO geochem referencing a i-2899 in press geologic map; needs follow up with Mike Clynne; awaiting USGS release of "blessed" data (Mike Clynne) since 2000; GRE has paper copies of 6 LAVO intersecting quads for Prospect Peak, West Prospect Peak, Manzanita Lake, Mt Harkness, Reading Peak, Lassen Peak, but no GIS to go with it. GMAP 7424 is compiled LAVO paper map that GRE scanned. Should be in LAVO park file. GMAPs 1017 (Prospect Peak 15') and 1016 (Manzanita Lake 15') could be digitized to give north half of park in worst case scenario. Also need to look into using of-84-224 (GMAPs 1263 & 74841)

2015-0331: Hey All,Sarah Gooding with the WVGS, she's the person that just sent us the surficial data for BLUE, stated just last week that the NERI surficial map would be delivered next, however, no exact time-frame was given other than sometime this fiscal year. Derek (Witt) on our program helped Sarah and the WVGS by cleaning up spatial topology for the NERI data (a mess from what the source map author created and provided to them). We'll add the NERI surfcial map to our work queue upon its arrival.

Would like to see if GMAP 75178 is final and could be incorporated as well; await response from AZGS on that….2009-1202: have GMAP 75178 (tillotson peak 7.5' surficial) to be added to yes maps and need to determine how to best GPRA complete ORPI……2008-0804: just downloaded bedrock ORPI map produced by Northern Arizona University; called it GMAP 75008; needs evaluated by GRE staff. Know we still need surficial mapping from AZGS, but not sure of any deliverable dates or such. Could we GPRA count the bedrock ?? If its' easy to convert ?

2010-0115: need to compare/contrast new gmap to existing maps to see if it does supersede or enhance the existing PETR map…..2009-1109: lower priority conversion than CARE, HOCU, CUVA…..2009-1103: USGS released new 7.5' geologic map for GMAP 75207 (Volcanoes Ranch 7.5'; USGS SIM 3083)

2013-0816: from earlier emails from TTE: Hello,
I took a quick look at the new (2007) mapping available for WAPA, available at: http://www.weriguam.org/locally-sponsored-research/guam-hydrologic-survey/page/geologic-maps. The new mapping has many similarities with the old; however, there are many important differences based on new surveys and geologic age dates. I know Tim is going to look into how much time and effort would be necessary to include this new information into our GRI map product. To help understand some of the basic differences between old and new mapping, I took a quick look and compiled the attached list of changes. I did not go through the unit descriptions in detail to determine discrepancies/updates and have not yet looked closely at the actual spatial data to see how much it differs. I hope we can make something work out for the WAPA map. At the very least, we will definitely include the new information in the report and make footnotes to the MUPT.
Cheers,
Trista T-E…..2011-0322: have some new material to update map and MUPT with; needs reviewed, assigned and incorporated…..see emails on topic…2011-0302: conference call may reveal new geologic map availability…new resource person has information on it…WERI…Dr. Janson ?? Deanna Greco did trip back in Oct 2003 to assess landslides and such…trip report needs consulted for report…2008-1030: had pseudo kickoff call with Marsha Davis, Connors, mack, Karpilo. Agreed to use three plates from PP-403-a (GMAPs 2952, ~75026 and ~75027 ??); need to ask USGS pubs to DJVU the pp document; Bruce Heise will follow up on this . 2008-0709: think this should be added to FY 2009 cue; need kick off ASAP to decide issues mentioned with GMAP 2952 (ie. Need to acquire paper copy of PP-403-a first); might use USGS wri03-4126; needs followup; will be using USGS PP-403-x series (GMAP 2952) should have enough to start this project; review with Ron Karpilo.

2013-0410: needs updated with most recent mapping from Brian Fagnan and SDGS; have request in for GIS files…….2012-0720: update in progress as per O'meara email of today……2010-1021: update in progress….compiled map; needs to be 100 %
